Apple iPhone Link

Well their has been allot of speculation as to what this device might look like over the last 6 months and today it was finally shown to the world. I have to say my jaw hit the floor when I was watching the mac keynote today. This is everything I have wanted in a phone with a slim form factor, nice design, big screen and touch sensitive screen.

iPhoneI have been an owner of many pocket pc’s and then eventually a pocket pc smart phone but this puppy blows the competition to pieces.

Motorola, Samsung and anyone else who has made phones int he past take note today is the day things changed.

So what do I like about this phone. Well first of all the small form factor but with a big screen really works well in the design and videos i have seen. The GUI is beautiful and the software packaged with the device seems to flow flawless with Apples true design skills.

Is it a mp3 player, video player, internet browser, gps google maps, sms, email and weather? it sure is and im sure more surprises will come out. Apple says with video , talk time or internet browsing you will get about 5 hrs of battery life which isnt to bad. Seems like itunes will get a upgrade and you will be able to sync your music, videos, photos, podcasts and contacts over on either your PC of Mac.. which I good cause i dont own a mac..

CES is here

Thursday, January 5th, 2006

Well alot of cool stuff is coming out of CES this year.. So far I have read about Xbox 360 HD DVD player, which I guess is going to be external, Blu-Ray, HD DVD players coming out, Panasonic Demos 103-Inch 1080p Plasma and much more. Instead of me trying to outline everything head on over to:

  • endadget
  • CES BetaNews
  • In some other news the Treo 700w was released by verizon today but im pretty dissapointed cause the screen size is limited to 240×240 and not 320×320 like the older Treo 650. I recently picked up a PPC6700 on Sprints Network and so far im pretty happy with it, unfortunally I had to find a few forums about this phone and use alot of tweaks, tricks to get it working like I wanted. If you have this phone head over to PDA Phones 6700 Forum. Ill talk a bit more about my gadgets as I get my blog rolling a bit more.

    CES is upon us geek heads

    Well its that time of year when everyone heads to Vegas to check out the latest gadgets coming out in the new year. The Consumer Electronic Show (CES) starts this week and will packed full of people running into each other in the halls, not making space for you to walk and just being over all rude. I have been to CES about 7 times in my life starting way back when It first came to life and as recently as last year. I usually only do a few hrs and make a mad dash though CES trying to find the things im intrested in.

    This year tho Im going to be sitting my ass in front of my computer and watching any webcasts or reading up on any of the cool tech websites because they are gonna cover it all and no need to push and shove your way though a bunch of stuffy hallways of guys and girls in power suites who think they are somebody.. oh sorry thats more of a rant than tech but it slipps in some times.

    Here is a link to CES and also a link to my favorite gadget reporting web site engadget.

    Long live TIVO..
